Trinity Broadcasting Network Statement on the Passing of TBN Founder Dr. Paul Crouch
LOS
ANGELES (November 30, 2013) — Trinity Broadcasting Network issued the
following statement on the passing of TBN founder and President Dr. Paul
Crouch:
Today
Dr. Paul Crouch, founder and president of the Trinity Broadcasting
Network (TBN), was called home to live in eternity with Christ. Dr.
Crouch was 79 years old. His passing followed a decade-long fight with
degenerative heart disease.
Paul’s
first love, the call he received as a young man, why he and his wife Jan
founded TBN in 1973, and his life’s work, was the Great Commission
first given by Jesus to his disciples in the Gospel of Matthew 28:18-20:
And
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world.
Today
heaven is a loud and joyous place where Paul has been greeted by the
countless souls he lead, and helped so many others to lead, to Christ.
He hated cant, insincerity, and giving less than one’s all. Paul never
tried to be anyone else, but was just himself in all his rugged reality,
frankness, and humor. He loved mankind, and longed to introduce
everyone to the Best Friend he and humanity ever had, Christ Jesus. We
mourn Paul’s passing and he will be greatly missed. But we know, as the
old hymn reminds us, soon enough we will see him again in that great
“meeting in the air.”
During
Paul’s last days, TBN, Jan, and the Crouch family have been humbled and
comforted by the innumerable words of prayer and expressions of support
and love they received. As we noted when we first announced Paul had
been taken to the hospital, God is truly manifest through love, and the
love and kindness so many have expressed has been a great blessing.
Thank you, and may God bless each one of you.
